The US Forest Service has closed access to the national forests in California until Sept. 17.

I suppose it's for the best at the moment. I thought it was petty and vindictive when they closed the forests a few years back during the budget squabbles but this decision has some logic to it. Since Covid the use of the nat'l forests, particularly dispersed camping, has exploded. The fire fighting resources are already stretched beyond capacity so any reasonable measure to reduce the potential for new fires may be warranted.

Let's hope that the folks that decide to defy the closure and go boondocking in next 2 weeks behave themselves and don't cause any new fires.
